'The Masked Singer' Season 9 Sesame Street Night: Is Paula Abdul the Jackalope? Here are the clues
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Behold the Jackalope, a mystical creature donning a gray bunny costume, sporting delicate antlers atop its head. Its vibrant, green eyes peer out from beneath the purple makeup that adorns its face. The outfit exudes a futuristic vibe with a hint of heroism, as evidenced by the purple cape that flutters behind it. The white and black leotard, purple leggings, and dark purple boots provide a striking contrast to the rest of the ensemble. To complete the look, the Jackalope slips on a pair of gray gloves, ready to take the stage and dazzle the audience.
Episode 5 of 'The Masked Singer' was titled Sesame Street Night, showcasing performances by Squirrel and two new fresh characters. On DC Superheroes Night, Squirrel's powerful performance of 'Try' by Pink helped it beat Wolf, who was revealed to be Michael Bolton. Gargoyle also advanced to the next round. During the battle royale, Squirrel and Gargoyle went head-to-head, and the panelists chose Squirrel to move forward. However, Gargoyle was saved by the "bell", quite literally, by Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg. The recent teaser for 'The Masked Singer' Season 9, released on YouTube, revealed that Squirrel's competitors were Jackalope and Fairy.

Clues for Jackalope
The first look of Jackalope was revealed by FOX before the show's premiere, on Instagram. On the post, we see Jackalope donning a jailbreak costume, along with others. But what is most interesting about the announcement is that FOX seemed to give out some clues through the shadows behind the Masks. The shadow behind Jackalope confirms that it is a singer with a microphone in their hand. The cape in the costume, also serves as a big clue, as history has seen many singers wearing a cape on stage during their performances. The only thing one needs to do is figure out the singers who have an iconic cape as part of their stage attire. Not only that, the words "Feeling jumpy, might skip ball" also serves as a clue. It might relate to the personality's early life or performance style. With FOX releasing very little clue about the Jackalope, it is difficult to narrow down on a personality. But the internet has already started making educated guesses.
Is Paula Abdul under the Jackalope Mask?
A fan pointed out on the official Instagram page of 'The Masked Singer' that Jackalope gives off "Legendary Diva Vibes", while another said, " This pose looks very familiar". Not much has been revealed by the creators of the show on social media channels, but their subtle hint-dropping has led many fans to believe that Paula Abdul is behind the Jackalope mask. Paula Abdul began her career as a cheerleader for the Los Angeles Lakers, a professional basketball team based in Los Angeles. She has also made a name as a choreographer for Laker Girls, where she was discovered by The Jacksons.
This heavily relates to the 'feeling jumpy, might skip ball' clue released on the teaser photo posted by the official Instagram page of 'The Masked Singer.' Moreover, the iconic poses Jackalope struck in the video promo, reflect the performance style of Paula Abdul, who has always been seen throwing her hands in the air much like a diva. Paula has also been on 'The Masked Dancer', which increases her chances of being the person behind the Jackalope mask. Furthermore, Jackalope's appearance on Sesame Street Night also makes sense as Paula has been a part of 'Sesame Street: Zoe's Dance Moves'.
'The Masked Singer' fans were also quick to come to the same conclusion. Comments like, " Is that Paula? Looks like it lol " and "Jackalope's pose looks very familiar. Paula Abdul? " were quick to flood the comment section as soon as the first look was shared by the show's official Instagram page. Some users were unsure about the real name, but they were spot on with their guesses about Jackalope being a singer. They wrote, "Unsure about the celeb, but they are giving off singer vibess " Another user was not being able to decide between two names. They said, "Either Ariana or Paula", while some users were convinced that their guess is absolutely correct. "Paula Abdul...i'm calling it," they said.
There are numerous clues that suggest Paula might be concealed beneath the Jackalope costume, but we must wait until the unmasking to verify this hypothesis. Although we are eager to uncover who is behind the Jackalope mask, we will continue to seek additional clues that support the idea that Paula is the one.
'The Masked Singer' Season 9 airs every Wednesday at 8 pm ET on Fox.
